Tunnels are the most efficient ways of driving through the mountain ranges in terms of safety of drivers and wildlife, maintenance costs and environmental impact. Harper (being from the West himself) wanted to build the tunnel between Lake Louise and Golden tight spots, but Trudeau got it shelved. There are not that many tight spots along Hwy-1, actually; maybe, less than 100km in total. Canada just needs to bite the bullet and make a decision to budget 20-30B to have it done once and for all. Widening those road bases along mountain terraces is not only dangerous and expensive; it is also taking a huge amount of time and disruption for the summer traffic. Tunneling will be less disruptive and, upon completion, will leave alternative scenic routes for emergencies and for those who wants to enjoy the scenery while driving.

Well I'm all for saying governments are lazy and/or incompetent.
You okay with opaque banking systems?
Also there has been a lot of divided highway added, you just haven't noticed.
